The key to a successful, fulfilling career is being really good at doing things the world values. This was the central thesis behind Cal Newport’s best-selling career advice book, So Good They Can’t Ignore You. There’s a lot of evidence to support this view, but it leaves itself a couple of open problems:

Which skills truly matter for your career? If you’re not in your career yet–deciding what to improve gives you a bewildering array of choices. If you’re already in your career it can often be unclear what things you need to improve to go to the next level.

How do you actually get really good at these skills? Even if you’ve figured out what to improve, knowing how to get better isn’t easy.

How do you find the time to get good? Finally, even if you somehow solved the previous two problems of what to improve and how to improve it, there would be a remaining question of where you can find the time to get really good at these things.

Top Performer is our answer to these questions. When dealing with the uncertainties of what you should try to master–we teach you how to do deep research into your career to decipher what matters and what doesn’t. We also give you tools for exploring different career options so, even if you aren’t sure what you want to do, you don’t have to make those choices blindly.

From deep research we’ll then move to deliberate practice. In particular, we’ll give you a structure we’ve used to repeatedly and rapidly build proficiency in key skills. This approach, what Cal and I call minimal projects, is about extracting the most improvement in skills from only a couple hours per week.

Finally, we’ll give you the counter-intuitive lessons in productivity and deep work so you’ll actually stick to these improvement efforts, despite your busy life.
